Breaking News!



Please excuse the blatant self promotion, but isn't that what a blog is for?

(FYI: I wrote this, my first press release)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indianapolis Radio/TV Personality returns to host "All Request Summer Nights-The Greatest Hits of All Time by Request" on WKLU-FM, Oldies 101.9.

Indianapolis, Indiana - May 18, 2009 - Indianapolis Radio/TV personality Tom Berg returns to host a live, local radio show on Oldies 101.9 beginning June 1st.

Berg will host "All Request Summer Nights" weeknights from 7pm until midnight.

The show will be the only live night time radio show in Indianapolis. Other radio stations either run pre-recorded, or syndicated shows after 7pm.

Mr. Berg feels that summer-time is the best time to launch a show like this.

"The sun will be up later, people will be out later and there should be someone live on the radio to be there for you." Berg continued, "Go ahead and try to call other radio stations to make a request after 7pm, you'll get a busy signal, if you get through at all. I'll be here every weeknight live from 7pm until midnight."

Berg is an Indianapolis radio/tv veteran, having worked as a TV traffic reporter for WRTV-6. He has spent over a decade working in Indianapolis media.

"The show will be a night-time party on the radio," says Mr. Berg."All request means ALL REQUEST."

OK now it's just us right?

I am SO excited about this opportunity.

Not just because it's a job, but because I think it's an opportunity to have some night time fun on the radio.

No man-bashing, no alien hunting, no relationship advice, just great tunes!

We will also be cranking up the listener interactivity. If you are reading this, I'll be expecting your phone call.

849-1019, learn it, love it. I'll want to hear from you all summer long.

Going to a concert? Call...
Having a barbecue? Call...
Got a request? CALL...

Listener interactivity will be KEY to the shows success. Don't let me down.

We'll scrounge up topics, and re-curring bits to make the nights a lot more fun.

I'll even take your call if you work for other radio stations in town, even YOU Smiley!

Wish me luck!
